That's right.

You did not use the correct format.  The magic is not in the word "closes" but
in the way it is used:

    Closes: #12345, #45566
    
works, and so does

    Closes: bug#12345, bug#23456

The colon, the "#" and the lack of space between the "#" and the number
are important.

The format is precisely defined by the following Perl regexp:
  /closes:\s*(?:bug)?\#\d+(?:,\s*(?:bug)?\#\d+)*/ig
